[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 1927634, member: 2011"] I suspect that it is possible that the thought never entered their minds. Have you ever written a gaming product? I have. You spend man months on it, trying to handle every little contingency that someone might think of. But, there is often over a hundred pages to work on and a lot of little nuances. You do not really spend more than 10 minutes thinking on any one feat, there is too much other work to keep in sync. Then, within 5 minutes of a products release, somebody comes up with a question that you never considered. And it goes from one question to dozens of questions, to maybe even hundreds of questions. So yes, I think it is very conceivable that taking it twice was a thought not even on their radar at the time, especially since all other choice feats do allow you to take them multiple times. It's possible that they thought about it and figured that the normal feat rules handle it. Or, it's possible that they did not. Every time there is an exception to the normal feat rules, they call it out. So if this is an exception to the normal "choice" feat rules (all of which have the multiple take special listed), they should have called it out precisely because rules lawyer DMs will rule the one way and "try to extrapolate from what you see presented there" DMs might rule another way. By being totally clear on something, it prevents ambiguity. [/QUOTE]
